The Atelier Gallery presents a selection of drawings by Salvador Dalí , from a private collection, spanning from 1920 to 1971, offering an overview of the evolution of his artistic career. The exhibition includes works from the 1920s and 1930s, such as 'The Woman with Swallows', a Cubist piece, and a preparatory ink study for the painting 'The Invention of Monsters', from the 1940s, where the birth of surrealism can be observed in his work.

After moving to New York, Dalí created several works, such as 'Fishermen of Port Lligat' (probably inspired by nostalgia) and 'Crons brandant dos monstres tous i la ballerina', a study for an animation project with Walt Disney. Other works from his last stage can also be seen, such as 'Self-portrait', linked to a project for the Los Angeles Olympic medals that did not materialize, and the illustration 'Ich Danke Meinen Freuden in Deutschland', designed for the Salvador Dalí article in the German magazine Die Kunst.
The exhibition has extended its visit period and can be seen until January 14. In addition, in the adjacent space of the gallery, works by Tharrats , a prominent member of Dau al Set and friend of Dalí, are exhibited. The selection includes some waste paper and a prominent tapestry from 1990, 'Meteorit'.
